Tarka with roti, curd and onion

Tarka also tastes good without adding any other non-vegetarian items to it. So, you can have it without any other supplementary to it. Catch you soon, till then Happy Cooking and Happy Eating.

Well firstly I would like to thank you for this recipe but there are two things I would like to rectify over here with due respect. It might be a different recipe but being a freelancer on cooking recipes myself I would like to add here that ginger needs to be added in the ingredients and green chillies are not called sukhno lanka. Sukhno lanka are the dry red chillies.

Hi Swati,
If you love eggs, then you should definitely try it. If you don’t like the way its prepared you can just fry the egg like scrambled eggs and garnish the fried egg over the tadka. Or else just leave the egg. We also make it with minced meat.
